Boutique Cottage with Everything you Need

10/10, a great stay! This cottage is perfectly placed between South Haven and Saugatuck. We had a great time exploring both towns, and the immediate surrounding area. The home itself has everything you need and is perhaps the cleanest, most comfortable cottage we’ve stayed at. To top it all off, it felt private and quiet. Take in the views of Lake Michigan from the enclosed sunroom, deck, fire pit or the beach! The extra touches the homeowners left for us were amazing and they even have iPhone cords perfectly placed around the home. A few tips, bring water shoes to deal with rocks when entering the water. The WiFi was out most of our stay and our cell signals didn’t work in the home. I know the area is working to resolve the WiFi challenge but plan to be disconnected! They have board games, movies, books, boogie boards, beach chairs, paddle boards, yard/beach games and even bikes for you to enjoy.

Peaceful Getaway

Had a great time with our own little piece of the Michigan Shoreline. House is well appointed. Great location close to Saugatuck and Holland. Host is very responsive. We look forward to coming back.

About the host

Hosted by Colleen and Andy

Andy and Colleen are from a Northwest suburb of Chicago. They have been married for almost 19 years and have two daughters. They spent a lot of their childhood enjoying lake time in Michigan and wanted to give those same experiences to their children too. They fell in love with the charm of this cozy cottage and it's location to a few of their favorite Michigan towns. It has been a perfect escape for their family and they wanted to be able to share it with others too.

Why they chose this property

This a quiet gravel road surrounded by woods. It has seen many generations of families. You won’t see cars flying by and can safely take a walk or bike ride along the road.

What makes this property unique

This is one of the very few short term rentals in the area that has its own private beach on Lake Michigan. It is in a perfect location to allow for a quiet retreat, yet centered between Saugatuck/Douglas and South Haven.
